Smith -
I quit cold turkey and doing the withdrawals (yet again) on my own and do not go to AA and do not have access to much treatment where I am at.
What I use is will power, SR, and my Dr. who provides me with counseling. Have you tried counseling? You may have underlying issues that are hard to deal with....family, loss, whatever it may be and drinking is a way to numb the pain or many of think. I got divorced and my drinking skyrocketed. Hell, I didn't know how to live a day without it. It numbed my brain and made me forget everything. Many use booze to hide from problems, issues with shyness.....it becomes so much a part of our lives that it seems we can't live without it. Sadly it usually takes something bad to make us stop and face reality.
Please keep posting more on your situation and by doing so we can gain more insight and through posting you will begin to understand more of why you turn to a drink.
All the best - Kim
